What is an eBike system?
The electric drive of the eBike, the display with the matching control unit and the battery are components that make an eBike. They are supplemented by digital services and apps. In a system, all components communicate with each other and adjust to your particular riding situation. So you ride more efficiently, more comfortably and with more riding fun.
What Bosch eBike systems are available?
With Bosch eBike Systems, you can choose between two systems – find out what advantages they offer and which suits you best.
The smart system is the beginning of a new kind of digital eBike future. In the latest system generation of Bosch eBike Systems, all components are fully interconnected. The eBike Flow app is the hub – through it, you constantly get new features for your eBike. You can simply transfer updates for your components via Bluetooth. This way, your eBike always remains up-to-date and is continuously enhanced after purchase.
